Where it grows wild

Usually terrestrial, sometimes epiphytic higher up. It grows in heath forest, on river banks, on cliff faces and landslides, in recovering logged dipterocarp forest, and in ridge and summit vegetation of upper montane forest. Plants climb to about 8 m. It is widespread and locally abundant.

Recorded from 1000 to at least 2000 m, typically above 1400 m. The two measured sites are at about 1140 and 2000 m, matching the known range.
